Energy Problems
|
Are you just too tired by the end of your workday to come home and get anything done? Does it take you the entire weekend to recuperate from your job? Are you a stay-at-home mom having a hard time keeping up with your toddler? Many people have fatigue that creates a lack of energy for even everyday tasks. |
Common Symptoms |
There are many cause of fatigue, and you should of course go to your doctor to rule out any of the serious diseases that cause fatigue, like cancer, heart disease, thyroid problems and diabetes. However, if you don't have any of those, your fatigue can be from a lack of certain vitamins and other nutrients and/or too much junk food in your diet. You may also have a thyroid problem that does not show up on the blood test. Too much stress and consequent burned out adrenal glands can also cause fatigue. |
Common Causes |
The B vitamins are very important for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and hence can have a big effect on your energy levels. Vitamin C also can boost your energy, perhaps by its positive impact on nourishing your adrenal glands*. Potassium, magnesium and iron are all important minerals for energy production in your body. Various herbs and plants can have a positive impact on both your adrenals and thyroid*, and are often offered in a supplement form. Seaweeds like kelp and bladderwrack can also be helpful for the thyroid.* Co Q-10 is needed for cellular energy and can hence often boost energy levels.* Ginseng is a well known energy boosting herb.* |

Food Choices |
A diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables can often give you an energy boost. Try making some fresh juice, especially with vegetables high in vitamin C. Add some whole grains and/or nuts to add B vitamins as well as magnesium. Liver once per week and using virgin cod liver oil daily can also help give you an energy boost.* |
Other Ideas |
Tobacco and prescription drugs all tax your system as your body then needs to work hard to get rid of the toxins they introduce into your body. Lastly, in addition to your adding B, C and other vitamins and nutritional supplements to your diet, exercise can help to boost your oxygen levels and thereby give you more energy, so try to go out for a walk even when you are dragging. * This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
